I’m also between gen Z and millennial and was the family’s tech kid and still get calls. Are you me? :D

Just yesterday I got a call asking how to select all images in a directory… And then another call about how to get those images to Google Drive, which is literally just drag and drop… And one of the people involved was my gen Z younger sister.

the family’s tech kid and still get calls

I don’t know how you all get calls. I have literally never been called to fix a computer. People prefer to pay some random guy at Walmart who will scam them, instead of calling me and getting free help. And I’m not a troll, not an asshole, or an incel, I’m a regular guy, I’m friendly, but people don’t seem to care, they prefer paying for useless help.

Of course my family members call me. It’s the only way they get the tech support I used to offer in-house. :D
